Moving Well

For the mature mover. This small group class focuses on gently getting the whole body moving in all of its wonderful ways and directions, building strength, co ordination and balance along the way. Suitable for anyone who feels they might be too old for yoga, too unfit for exercise and too stiff to start again. Let’s discover that none of this is true.
